After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

Concubine Jiashu didn't want Cui Yulan to find someone in Shangjing.The dignitaries in Shangjing are intertwined, and they are single and weak, so they are not suitable.

But Xi's mother and daughter didn't think so, Xi said after listening to the concubine's words: "I didn't want Yulan to be the eldest son of the Houfu, isn't there a second son in the Houfu, who happens to be about the same age as Yulan. "

The concubine sighed, and said: "Everyone will plan for their own children. The second son was born to Mrs. Hou, so she will naturally plan for him. Think about it, if the eldest son can become a prince, Mrs. Hou will definitely give it to the second son." The young master seeks a good future, and his marriage will definitely not be easy."

Xi's face was full of loneliness. She wanted her daughter to find a good family in Shangjing, so she took her daughter to join her younger sister. But she didn't know until she arrived in Shangjing that there were too many ways in which the rich and powerful in Shangjing got married.

Seeing her like this, the concubine couldn't bear it, and persuaded softly: "Life in the big family is not as easy as you think, it's better to find a good family in Anzhou. Father and elder brother are all in Anzhou. Help you guys."

Concubine Jiashu was born in Anzhou, and now her father works as the magistrate of Anzhou, and her brother also works in Anzhou. It can be said that Anzhou is the base camp of the Xi family.Cui Yulan is looking for her husband's family in Anzhou, and she can definitely find a famous local family.

But Mrs. Xi did not speak after hearing what the concubine said. This meant that she wanted Cui Yulan to find someone in Shangjing. The concubine stopped talking when she saw this. Everyone has their own choice, and of course they have to do it for themselves in the end. take responsibility for the choice.

They stayed in Shangjing if they wanted to, it was nothing more than the expense of two more people.

When Tang Shuyi returned to the Hou's mansion, she began to plan to find a suitable place to hold the club, but she was not in a hurry. If she couldn't do it, she would buy a piece of land and build it herself.

Two days later, she found a way to send Concubine Jiashu a set of Ru kiln blue and white tea set, which was equivalent in value to the Dongzhu headmask that Concubine Jiashu gave to Xiao Yuzhu.

After the concubine received the tea set, she couldn't help saying to Nanny Liu beside her, "This Mrs. Yongning Hou is a wonderful person."

Liu Nanny smiled and said: "I heard that the two were very affectionate when the Marquis of Yongning was alive."

The concubine thought of Xiao Yuzhu again, sighed and said: "At the beginning when I asked Cheng Yun to marry, if I was afraid of the jealousy of the superiors, I would find a woman from a small family and no family background, so that I could leave a descendant. But he said, married His wife gave birth to a son, and after he was gone, it was difficult to leave orphans and widows. He had already guessed that there would be such a day. But he didn't think about it. If he could have a boy and a half girl, I would be alive. I hope not."

At the end, the concubine's eyes were red again, and Nanny Liu hurriedly persuaded her.

........

The weather is getting colder and colder, and this day Beijing ushered in the first snow after winter.Xiao Yuzhu looked at the silver clothes outside, and happily said to Tang Shuyi, "Mom, let's go make a snowman."

Looking at the pure white world, Tang Shuyi was also in a good mood, so she nodded and said yes.

"Someone call Cousin Le'er, let's build a snowman together." Xiao Yuzhu didn't forget her little friend.

Naturally, Tang Shuyi didn't object, and sent someone to the Duke's mansion to pick him up, and then said: "Today, you can have hot pot in the garden for lunch, and enjoy the snow scene while eating hot pot, it's both vulgar and elegant, beautiful!"

Xiao Yuzhu applauded after hearing this, and ran outside with her skirt in hand, saying, "I'll tell the elder brother and the second brother."

Tang Shuyi waved her to go, and she asked Cuiyun to go to the kitchen, asked them to prepare things for lunch, and ordered someone to tidy up the flower pavilion in the garden.

After a while, Xiao Yuzhu came with people, not only Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming, but also Guan Yinian, Yan Wu, and Qi Er.Everyone was very excited, and Tang Shuyi went to the garden with a group of people.Not long after arriving, Tang Anle came, and with her were Young Master Tang San and Young Master Tang Si.

Tang Shuyi looked at the large group of people, smiled and asked people to go to the kitchen to tell them to prepare more ingredients, because there are many people.

Xiao Yuzhu, Tang Anle, Xiao Yuming, Yan Wu, Qi Er, and the fourth master Tang built a snowman together, while Xiao Yuchen, Guan Yinian, and the third master Tang recited poems and poems to the snow scene.Tang Shuyi brought green bamboos and green clouds, cut plum blossoms and sat in the charcoal-burning pavilion to arrange flowers. Everyone was busy with their own things, so it was very lively.

After a while, the snowman was piled up, Xiao Yuzhu ran to Xiao Yuchen, pulled him to make him write a poem for the snowman, Xiao Yuchen couldn't laugh or cry, but thought for a while and said: "Hold a snowball in your hand to be a little friend, and dance to show your true self." False. The crumbs and snowflakes fly around you, dancing a thousand times."

Xiao Yuming, Qi Er and the rest of the students clapped their hands and applauded when they heard it, while Guan Yinian and Mr. Tang San commented on the poem.Tang Shuyi told Cuizhu Cuiyun while arranging lace, "Our eldest son still has two brushes."

Cuizhu Cuiyun laughed beside him.

Soon it was time for lunch, Tang Shuyi asked someone to separate the pavilion with a screen, put a pot on one side, and men and women ate separately.

Standing in the warm pavilion, facing the steaming pot, looking at the white-wrapped rockery, cangzhu, flower terrace and water pavilion outside the pavilion... This contrast is indescribably refreshing.

After lunch, Tang Shuyi felt a little tired, so she got up and went back to rest, letting a group of young people play here.As soon as he entered the house and changed his clothes, someone came to report that Guan Yougen and his wife had come.

Tang Shuyi was taken aback when she heard this. The two rushed over from Xishan on this snowy day. Something must have happened, so they hurriedly asked people to come in.

Guan Yougen and his wife looked travel-stained, their cheeks and noses were flushed from the cold.Tang Shuyi had someone serve hot tea to them, and asked, "But something happened?"

After hearing what she said, the couple were embarrassed, and they didn't know how to speak.Seeing this, Tang Shuyi said: "They are all our own people, so if you have something to say, just say it."

Mrs. Guan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Auntie Lu's natal brother's family had an accident. Human life is at stake. We happened to run into it, so I came here to beg you."

Tang Shuyi was a little confused, who is this Aunt Lu?

Seeing this, Mrs. Guan explained to her, "The wife the old Hou married in the village is named Lu, and we all call her Aunt Lu."

Tang Shuyi was taken aback, and asked, "It's Lu...they have news?"

This they refer to the Xiao family in the village. Sister Guan also understood, but she shook her head and said, "There is no news about Aunt Lu and the others. Aunt Lu's natal brother's family also lost with them back then."

Tang Shuyi nodded and asked, "What happened?"

Mrs. Guan sighed, and said: "Aunt Lu's natal brother's family settled in Zhoushan Village, [-] miles away from Shangjing, a few years ago. The life of a family of more than ten people is not easy. Fortunately, they have a cow in their family. Driving an ox cart to pull people back and forth to earn some money. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the eldest grandson of their family was driving a cart to bring people to Beijing, and collided with a carriage at the gate of the city."

"Did you hurt someone?" Tang Shuyi asked.

"No," Mrs. Guan shook her head, and said again: "The person sitting in the carriage was holding a vase in his arms. When the bullock cart hit her, she couldn't sit still and fell, and the vase fell...broken. They asked To pay for the vase, the grandson of the Lu family gritted his teeth and said that it would be a compensation, but the man said that the vase was worth several hundred taels. Even if they sold their whole family, they would not be able to get a few hundred taels of silver! In the end, the man reported After becoming an official, the eldest grandson of the Lu family was taken into prison."

"Then why did the Lu family meet you?" Tang Shuyi asked again.

Sister-in-law Guan: "Yesterday, my old man came to Beijing to do some shopping and ran into him at the gate of the city."

At this time, Guan Yougen said: "I played with the boss of the Lu family when we were young, but I didn't expect to recognize them after so many years. Seeing that they were running around in a hurry, the person who was bumped seemed to be someone from a high-ranking official family. There is a way, we want to come over and beg you."

Tang Shuyi was silent for a moment and said, "Have the people from the Lu family come?"

"It's coming, it's outside the Hou Mansion." Guan Yougen said hastily.

Tang Shuyi turned her head and said to Cuiyun: "Bring people in, ask which company they bumped into, and at worst pay them money."

ps: Old Hou Ye married a wife at home before joining the army. The wife's surname was Lu, and she was the Aunt Lu mentioned in the article.That is to say, something happened to the natal brother of the first wife that Old Hou Ye married.

Regarding the matter of the old Hou Ye's previous marriage, I will talk about it in detail later.I'm afraid you don't understand, please explain.
